Nirvana’s “Nevermind” album will turn 20 years old this fall, and the band’s bassist and co-founder will mark the occasion by helping play the iconic record in full at a Sept. 20 concert in Seattle.

Krist Novoselic will be joined by other noted Seattle bands, including the Fastbacks, the Long Winters and Visqueen. Each song will be played by a different band, according to the event’s ticket seller.

The show at the EMP’s Sky Church venue will benefit Susie Tennant, a cornerstone of Seattle’s music industry who was recently diagnosed with cancer.

Novoselic had this to say on Twitter Thursday: “I am performing a Nevermind song with PUSA at the EMP on 9/20 not the whole album! Look forward to the event to help @susietennant get well!”

Novoselic won’t be joined by former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl, who’s touring with the Foo Fighters in Cleveland that night.
